Famous quotes containing the word sun:

    “Nights, I squat in the cornucopia
    Of your left ear, out of the wind,

    Counting the red stars and those of plum-color.
    The sun rises under the pillar of your tongue.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “The sun set; but set not his hope:
    Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
    Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
    Deeper and older seemed his eye:
    And matched his sufferance sublime
    The taciturnity of time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Clean out the drainpipes while the sun shines.”
    —Chinese proverb.
